Who caused the simulation? If it was uncased, then it it has no puppet master. If it has no puppet master then it doesn't need to be called a simulation, it can simply be seen as an ongoing cycle.

It doesn't really matter who or what caused it the point is you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a simulated universe and a 'real' one.
